The Usual Result.
Wnl1pe Neips.


The reunion of the Army of West Vr-
GINA at Wheeling last week accomplished
the desired and usual result. 1t added a
handful of fuel 10 the flame of sectional
hate, renewed the memories OF the war,
and tore afresh the wounds which but for
reunions would have healed years ago.
And why, pray, are these annual reunions
held, when the only visible effect Is to
renew and encourage the bitter strife
between the different sections of
this country. which all good and
loyal citizens should seek to bury
and forget? They are held simply for
political purposes, TO prolong the existence
of the Republican party which is lettering
on its war foundation and must ultimately
crumble and fall. They are the offspring
of schemlng politicians who make them a
hobby horse on which they can ride into
office. Governor Foraker is Just this kind
of "A man. and he took occasion TO use the
reunion at Wheeling last week for politi-
cal purposes only. As another evidence
Of the partisan and political nature OF these
reunions, it is only necessary to
cite the conduct of certain army
posts at the Wheeling reunion who refused
to march under q flag swung across a street
because the flag had thereon a picture OF a
Democratic President, though he is Com
~mander-in. Chief of all the armies OF this
government. A fraternal relationship be-
tween the North and the South can never
be restored and maintained so long as the
North continue to give evidences of such
intolerant hatred and prejudice.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
JACQUES OPERA HOUSE.

Monroe 6 Rice's presentation at the opera house last evening of My Aunt Bridget" was decided success. There was not dull moment during the entire enter tainment This comedy, replete with talk ing songs and abounding in funny situa- tions, is bound to meet with success, espe- cially when such talented artists as Monroe and Rice appear in the leading characters, supported by fine and well balanced com pany.
 Tomorrow evening at the opera house a company of well selected artists will pre- sent, for the first time in this city, the new comedy entitled 9tFitznoodle." This piece was first presented at New Haven this week. The dialogue is witty and the plot entertaining. It's first production was g success, and the New Haven press speaks we'll of it. The News says "the work ot Cedric Hope as Fitznoodle, MT Day as Matchbang and Miss Chantore as Vestalis Wye was especially praiseworthy. Bar ring the roughness of a first nights presen tation, the play was well presented. Il may safely be said that the better educated the audience the better it will receive Fitz noodle"
 Augustin Daly's great play, "Under tht Gaslightp will be given at the opera house next Tuesday evening.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.
HARTFORD ys WATERBURY

About 1000 delighted spectators witnessed the Waterburys fall victims to the Hart lords at polo in the capital city last night. The Hartfords won the first two goals in short order. Then the Brass Citys buckled down to work, and Cunningham secured the ball and passed it to Griffin who caged the ball after a hot fight The next four goals were won by Hartford, Menard working with will, and being well sup ported by Williams who played for all he was worth. The sixth goal was not won till after the home team had struggled for 12 long minutes the victorious Hartford's forcing the fighting. There was no science
 It was one long, fierce conflict everybody driving for goal and McKie stopping every thing. At last Menard, by clever side shot, sent the ball home to rest, and then the spectators rose to man and cheered till it loosened the roof The next, the seventh goal, was made by Menard in less than minute, and though Cunningham managed to make goal for Waterbury be- fore the whistle blew, the game was Hart

THE BULLET MISSED THE MARK. A Man in Search of his Wife Shoots at
 an Innocent Girl.

William H. Johnson, a big burly looking fellow, was in the police court this morn ing on charge of assault with intent to kill Miss Maggie Devine. After hearing two witnesses in the case the court found probable cause and bound the prisoner over to the next term of the superior court in the sum of $500, and failing to secure bail he was taken to New Haven to await his trial
 Miss Maggie Devine was the most inn portant witness against the prisoner. She was not the least disconnected by the crowd of spectators and told her story without She lives with her parents at No 9 Fuller street, and was at home alone yesterday afternoon, when Johnson entered the house fourishing revolver and demanding that she fall upon her knees and tell him where his wife was. To this inquiry she replied in the negative and expressed desire to give Johnson all the points he wanted. She showed no disposition, however, to get down on her knees before him. When she told him that none of his wife's goods were in the house he gave her the lie He said he would kill her and gave emphasis to his threat by pointing the revolver at her. She tried to escape, but he fired one shot, the bullet lodging itself in the wood work 8 few feet away. Johnson caught hold of her, but by 8 desperate struggle she got away from him and escaped to an adjoining room and bolted the door. Wm Sheehan gave testimony in part corrobo- rating Miss Devine's story.
 Johnson married his wife five years ago. She lived with him until few weeks ago when she left him, alleging as a reases, that he did not support her. Mrs John son, it is said, s few days ago, removed some of her furniture to the residence of the Devine family, and Johnson, thinking that they were harboring his wife, went there intoxicated, and enraged at not find ing her, shot at the young girl
 Johnson said this morning that he had $4S7 in the bank, but his wife and Miss Devine had squandered it. He says that he was so drunk that he does not remem- Der anything.
 Johnson has had a bad record, he having stabbed man some years ago and having been arrested several times before.

THE INTERsEcTING SEWER.
The Commissioners Cautious.-The Sec
 vile Company's Proposition.

The proposed intersecting sewer occu- pied the attention of the board or sewer commissioners last evening and elicited quite an informal discussion. Mayor Boughton, City Engineer Weld and City Attorney Terry were appointed commit tee to confer with the Scovill Manufactur ing company for the purpose of avoiding legal proceedings in the construction through the company's property of that portion of the intersecting sewer from Baldwin street along the left bank of the Mad river. As result of that conference F. J. Kingsbury for the company, last ey- ening submitted proposition on the spec ifcations of which the company wish a contract instituted. According to the pro- position the company agree to convey to the city the right to build and maintain a sewer through the companys property on the left bank of Mad river from Dublin street to the company's south line near Baldwin street, and from Hayden street through the companys premises and con meeting with the sewer on the left bank of the river. This part of the proposition is made dependent upon over dozen condi- tions that follow, many of which relate to the manner in which the sewer shall be constructed, etc., some of these are agreeable to the board of sewer com missioners. One condition is that the com pany may connect with the sewer without being assessed, another that they shall be allowed $1 ,5O0 damages, and that they shall not be deprived of the right to build on the strip of land taken for the sewer, and that the city shall have access only to the man. holes. The board was of the opinion that the right to build and maintain a sewer gave them access to the sewer and Engineer Weld explained that such was undoubtedly the understanding of the co4lpaly, but that the condition as stated in MT Kings bury's proposition was too broad. Another condition was that the city should forfeit all right to sewer into Mad river above Dublin street.
 The board talked over the matter at con- siderable length, finally referring the prop osition to the special committee and adding, by request of the mayor, Commissioner Stevens. One great difficulty which the board saw in this piece of work, is the fact that the sewers run through portion of the line of the Meriden-W aterbury road. Should the road pay the value of the con- demned land, as decided by the arbiters, they have rights which the city are bound to respect, but should the city make con- tract with the Scovin Go before the rail road takes such steps; the city will have rights the railroad company is bound tc respect. These and other complicated questions led the board to refer the propo sition to the franchise committee. With g competent engineer, the legal knowledge of the mayor and city attorney and the practicality of business man, the commit tee ought to be able to cope with the ques- tion, momentous as it is and inviting as it does intricacies that ale liable to result in litigation.
